Best known as the Fight Doctor, Ferdie Pacheco has lived a
dreamer's life. Instead of finding success in just one career,
Pacheco has excelled in numerous fields. He's been a successful
pharmacist, doctor, boxing cornerman, television commentator,
screenwriter, author, artist, and more. Now the life of this
extraordinary Renaissance man is captured in his one-of-a-kind
autobiography, "Blood in My Coffee."
With wit and candor, Pacheco chronicles his life from his childhood
days spent growing up in the Spanish section of Tampa, Florida, to
patching up Muhammad Ali while sitting ring-side. Within these
pages, Pacheco offers an inside look at the world of boxing,
including characters from Miami's famous Fifth Street Gym, the Ali
circus, and working behind the microphone with Marv Albert. He
takes off the gloves as he recalls his dealings with the likes of
Don King and the Showtime Network. But "Blood in My Coffee "is more
than just a boxing book. It's Pacheco's personal journey of
realization and growth--from opening a medical office in Miami's
Overtown ghetto to campaigning for better safety regulations in
boxing. It's proof positive that with a little luck and a lot of
perseverance, dreams really do come true.
